Letter from Ishikawa to Bowne (June 22, 1890)

San Francisco June 22, 1890 Mr. J.T. Browne
I have got here last Saturday afternoon. My journey was rather long on account. I spent Sunday at Buffalo. My expectation was to spend Sunday-12th in Chicago but when I got Buffalo it was already Saturday noon so I changed.
I cannot say anything about the work yet, however it seems to me something hard on account of wrong method and foolish customs have been practiced long time. First thing is to write to (spirit?) of members and lay good foundation. I will write again.
Best regard to Mrs. Bowne
Your humble servant,
G. S. Ishikawa
